Thank you, Chair,
議長、有り難う御座います。
During the Right of Reply in this session, Democratic People’s Republic of Korea responded to the statement made by the Japanese Representative at the High Level Segment.
北朝鮮は、このセッションの「返答の権利」の期間に日本政府代表の発言に対して反論しました。
DPRK argued issues related to the “forced laborers” which were not forced, “sex slaves” who were “war time prostitutes” and North Korean schools subsidiaries.
But his arguments were totally baseless.
北朝鮮は、強制もされていない「強制労働者」、戦時売春婦であった「性奴隷」そして、朝鮮学校に関して主張しました。
Regarding the abduction issue, DPRK has been continuously blamed by the international community as one of the worst inhumane crimes.
北朝鮮は、拉致問題に関して最悪の人権蹂躙のひとつとして国際社会から継続的に非難されています。
Koreans who worked for the Japanese companies during World War II were just “wartime laborers” rather than “forced laborers,” and entirely different from “slave laborers” which DPRK representative said in his speech.
北朝鮮代表が発言した第二次世界大戦中に日本の会社で働いた朝鮮人達は、「強制労働者」ではなく単なる「戦時労働者」であり、「奴隷労働者」とは、全く異なります。
Comfort women were “wartime prostitutes.” We strongly believe the most important thing to resolve historical issues are “fact-centered approach” rather than “victim-centered approach” which rests merely on emotions and subjectivities.
慰安婦は「戦時売春婦」です。我々は、歴史問題の解決に最も重要なのは単に感情と主観に過ぎない「被害者中心の取り組み」ではなく「事実中心の取り組み」であると考えます。
A “victim-centered approach” relies exclusively on the oral testimonies of self-proclaimed comfort women. However testimonies must be substantiated with evidences and subjected to cross-examination. Indeed, testimonies by so-called comfort women are not based on hard evidence.
「被害者中心の取り組み」は、自称慰安婦たちの証言のみに依拠します。しかし、証言には、証拠と詰問によって実証する必要があります。明らかにいわゆる慰安婦たちの証言は、証拠に依拠していません。
South Korean schools are getting government subsidiaries based on the rule of the Ministry of Education however North Korean schools are not following it.
韓国学校は文科省の規則に照らして、国からの補助金を得ていますが、朝鮮学校はそれを守っていません。
But if they follow the rules, they can get it even from the next day.
しかし、彼らが規則を満たせば、翌日からでも補助金を得られます。
DPRK is requested to sincerely face the problems, stop violating the human rights and return all the abductees abducted from Japan which DPRK admitted that their agents kidnapped.
北朝鮮は諸問題に真摯に向き合い人権侵害を止め、北朝鮮政府が認めた工作員を使って拉致した全ての日本人拉致被害者たちを返せ。
Thank you very much. 有り難う御座いました。
